Common Sense On The Range

As of April 10th, 2010 there are NO steel targets or steel target holders allowed on the range. The reason is to eliminate ricochets.

Anyone caught purposely damaging club property or misusing the range, will lose their membership and maybe prosecuted by law.

Post targets on the backing material between the 2×4’s so the stands last longer.

Do not shoot posts or the new pvc target stand holders.

Nothing should be set on top of the posts or target stands to shoot at.

Do not drag items (trash) onto the range to shoot at.

Large caliber rifles do not belong on the pistol side of the range.

Clean up after yourself (meaning brass, Shotgun Hulls, empty ammo boxes and trash). If you destroy a target stand on the pistol side, either the frame broken or the backing board gone, replace it with a new one before leaving. Put the old one in the dumpster.

Brooms, rakes shovels, rolling magnet and dust pans are in the building for all to use. If trash cans are full they can be dumped in the dumpster. We have a hand cart in the building with straps to secure the can for hauling to the dumpster. The dumpster key is on a large green key chain hanging on the west wall in the building. Please lock the dumpster back up.

Reactive Self-sealing Targets

DO NOT SHOOT them with a shotgun, shot of any kind or slug.

DO NOT SHOOT them with machine gun fire.

When using a center fire rifle, only shoot targets 4-inch or smaller round targets or animal targets. Otherwise the targets will be ripped open like a knife went through them, per manufacturer.

Paper Targets , Staple Guns , Push Pins

Paper targets , staple guns and push pins are in the building for all members to use. We have various targets for both pistol and rifle use. Please put the staple guns back when finished.
